Simplicity in Language, Minimalism in Literature

February 25, 2007

I’ve wanted to find minimalists authors so that I can understand their economy of words in relation to the structure of their stories (plots, climaxes, descriptions and so forth) because I feel I’ve grasped a basic understanding of minimalism and simplicity in most other spheres (art, music, politics).

I would add the Australian short story writer and poet Brentley Frazer to that list of minimalist writers. He has such economical use of language but his sentences unwrap in you head. Outstanding. I recommend.
